  Vehdaa.com (2011)

  A collection of interviews of the residents and the diaspora. Vehdaa started as a weekend project in response to the flooding of the contemporary and new media with inconsequential things in our own community, and the lack of spotlights on creative role models. A punjabi word for courtyard, Vehdaa symbolizes a village pump or a watering hole, where people from the community get together to share their experiences and tell stories. Vehdaa yearns to document and promote thoughts, workflows, processes and tools of our generation of people bringing a change, from different walks of life. Vehdaa is a community project backed by Satluj Computers.
